That honestly wasn't too hard an exam, I thought. Having been practicing on Masumi papers, that was OK. I had about 30 minutes at the end to check my exam, I'm wondering if I left any questions, even though I checked the paper ><.

And that drama thingy was funny, as well as that listening bit about the rude girl

[AkaiHanabi]

I found the listening fairly straight forward. The entire class LOLed at the rude when the girl was like "Jya ne~". The only thing I didn't get in the listening section was half of the question about noodle eating comps on tv... something about hot dogs *grumbles*

The reading was fairly easy. I actually got through the first section without my dictionary =D I was wondering why the question about where the conversation was taking place was worth TWO marks though =/

I screwed up writing as per usual.

I was facking hungry by the end of the exam though =S

^ =D hi 'Ness-chan

I swear I knew you'd be the first to respond. And you've finally found my BOS identity, but I don't post much anyway.

And yeah, everyone was laughing at the "Ojiichan"

That question about where it was taking place had two parts, two bits of information: in the first floor near the window, and in a cafe.

And how did you screw up writing? I'm sure you were fine! You didn't just leave one this time did you?

[Yamiyo]

Lol, was that girl meant to sound drunk?

I failed the Yakisoba competition one... the whole of the first reading, I thought it was like a Japanese popeye - he eats yakisoba TO BECOME a champion. WTF IS GOING ON???

Other than that it wasn't too bad, writing questions were pretty standard.

Yeah, I got home pretty early =] and i was bored =/

I knew it! I was like: what the hell is 'nikai'? then i opened my dictionary =3

I did all of them. it's just i did the 9 marker question in the last 15 minutes. I was like: come to our school. the people are friendly and interesting. there are lots of kids studying japanese (with a relative clause ftw), and there's lots of activities you can participate in. then i ended it lamely with, you should come to our school. yeah.

Nah, i think she was just meant to sound really whiny.

the yakisoba one was just blergh. I read the question before they played the tape and was thinking... this is going to be a bitch.

I heard that you had to go buy the tickets at a convenience store, you couldn't buy them at the gallery. Then to get to the convenience store you had to catch the (no. 17?) bus, cross some bridge and turn at the next left corner. tabun.

[sitk]

Yep, that's almost exactly what I thought. I'm 100% sure that you couldn buy tickets at gallery, you had to buy at convenience store. What I'm not sure about was if those directions (catch bus 17, cross bridge, get off, turn left, you'll see it straightaway) were for how to get to the gallery or how to get to the convenience store to buy the tickets
